Cellos are heavy instruments and having to put them away in their cases every time you are finished playing can become annoying very quickly. Cello stands give you an easy way to store your cello while keeping it on display for everyone to see. They are great additions to living rooms, music rooms, and even bedrooms. Similar to a violin or viola hanger, cello stands provide elegant display options.
Regardless of why you want one, cello stands are great accessories that make storing your instrument when not in use very simple. No more trying to balance your cello while you try to put a soft case over it or hiding your cello away in a closet somewhere. Cello stands easily hold up your cello so storing your instrument is as simple as putting your cello on the stand. Below you’ll find a list of the best cello stands that you can use for storing your cello.

Conclusion
Whichever cello stand you end up choosing, make sure you test it before you trust it with your valuable instrument. Fold and unfold the traveling cello stands to make sure yours won’t collapse as soon as you put the cello on it. Most cello stands are very similar with the main differences being in weight and pressure rating. Both of these traits ultimately influence the price of the cello stand which is why cello stands with better pressure ratings and less weight tend to be more expensive.
